I completely agree. As I said before, I am hoping he learned from some of those mistake, as the competition will ramp up and the better team will look for these situations to take advantage of them. I don't think anyone has said anything to write the kid off a few games into the year. Acknowledging that mistakes were made in the game is far different from condemning the team or individual players. Obviously Peski wasn't the only person with mistakes or struggles. There was quite a bit of sloppy play this weekend. UND looked brilliant at times, and abysmal at times. Important thing is we get the non conference wins and then LEARN as we go into next week.

Don't be ridiculous. The women play in Ridder arena, and draw way more fans.

I was just stating a few plays that stood out to me. Those plays involved Peski. Not sure why this is getting jumped on. I didn't say Peski was the only guys that made any mistakes.

^This! I'm hoping the close game in Idaho is a blessing in disguise, we didn't earn any style points, but hopefully it lights a fire under the guys. Particularly under the offensive line. I was surprise how quickly ISU was able to penetrate the light. It seem like Oliveira and Norberg were just lunging to try to get anything. Regardless, I just hope it put the season in perspective for these guys. Easy to lose a bit of a competitive edge after a long win streak. Hopefully this bring them back to earth a little but. So pumped for Weber, hope we can win this one with some style points

Big time game. Weber has not had the toughest schedule yet. They have wins against the bottom 4 teams in the conference and 5 of the bottom 6. We have beat 4 of the bottome 6 teams, with our other win against Cal Poly. We beat USD, they almost beat USD. This game could come down to team matchups. Could be close, could be a blowout. I'll be interested to see how our injuries look over the next few days. Having Reyes back would be huge! Hopefully Cieslak is ok too. Absolutely have to get the running game going early this week. We've seen just how much it opens up our passing game. Studs just needs to keep doing what he is doing. He has played very nicely.

ok lets be clear guys, I was not trying to turn peski into a whipping boy after 5 games. I was just saying that he, as a freshman, made a few rookie mistakes. Point being, I hope he learned from them, as our competition will get better and will continue to capitalize on those kinds of mistakes. I'm not saying he was the only one to make mistakes, just saying that a few of his plays stood out, and I noticed his name was call when those mistakes happened. Tough part for him and other freshman, is that mistakes tend to be glaring after watching such a dominant D core just a season ago. I have total faith in these guys and the coaches to train up the D throughout the season. Next few weeks will be a big time challenge, and hopefully a great learning opportunity. Just hoping small mistakes don't cost us games.

They earned their lashings.

For those questioning the prices to the Gopher/Sioux hockey game. Just look at this picture that was tweeted out by Chirps to Gophers this weekend. They have to be taking a hit, and are I'm sure trying to recoup some of their revenue. This is going to be an extremely hostile environment ..... for the Goofs. I'll be there Saturday night, not sure about Friday yet, but I'm expect this to be similar to when UND goes to Denver. Hope we can get the first goal because it'll get loud in there. Wish they served beer in the arena.

Hey, I'm not saying Peski will be bad. BUT he has been the source of some pretty bad turnovers in his own end, 1 or 2 which led directly to the other team scoring. I'm sure the kid will be fine, and is just taking a little time to adjust. I did mention that I attribute some of our inconsistency and vulnerability to youth and that I'm sure it will be cleaned up throughout the season. BUT I hope these guys don't make too many of those kinds of mistakes over the next few weeks, given our schedule. I'm thrilled we are 5-0 and haven't dropped any bad games yet, but that won't be the case against Duluth, MN and Denver. That's a scary few weeks and a ton of talent.

My stream worked great this weekend. Hope whatever they did is fixed for the season.

MT may be a bit overrated this year, though they would still give us a hell of a game, especially with their heavy pass offense. EWU has completely earned their ranking. They have dominated almost everyone, taken the defending 5 time Nat'l champ to OT, and looked the part of a champion. Yes, their D could be much better, but their offense makes up for it.

Hey, as long as the lights are on for the start of the game we can all just be happy that it is college hockey season. Yes, UND has played well against Duluth for the most part over the last year or so, minus last spring. BUT UND has not looked tremendous yet this year. We have shown flashes, but have lacked consistency, which I will attribute to youth .... for now. Definitely some defensive vulnerability ... ahem, Peski! I am sure these guys will gel and play better by the end of the season, but UMD will be a solid test early in the season. I hope we play well, because then it is on to MN, who I hope we destroy, especially Sat. night when I am there. Then onto DU. Needless to say, it'll be a tough stretch. Hope our team wins, grows and develops. I'll take ugly wins, just win. Thanks for stoppin by Biddco

I'll share in the blame. Or my wife will. I told her to put my son in his und shirt this morning, as he has worn it the last several weekends. She didn't. She had already lined it up for next Saturday

K that was gutsy

I guess, I trust norberg and oliveira to get the 1 yard in almost any scenario.

Yep, second half is a new game. Git-r-done!

Kind of a gutless call

K let's see brady get some carries here and change it up a bit.

Should prob call a penalty on the sack, since everything else is

52-7 und. Changing my guess from the other thread last minute Let go!

This is exactly what I hate about the internet. People can be rude and cruel and there is zero accountability because people can hide behind their screens. ANd I especially like that you are judging Hak's team after a few games, rather than his overall performance over the past season. Maybe he will be done in a year or two, but you have nothing to base that off of. Your just trolling trying to be a jerk. Take it somewhere else.

There were a few that questioned the poganski penalty shot last season. This and that are not even comparable. Bemidji got completely hosed on the call, and UND capitalized. Shame on the refs. Even my wife, who is usually pretty apathetic couldn't believe it. Oh well, glad we won

exactly. I don't see us overtaking EWU (we could, but I don't see it). Overtaking MT and getting a second seed for the Big Sky is entirely plausible. UND just needs to take care of what they can control. Keep winning.

hmm solid point. Not sure what the optimal way would be to get us the highest seed possible. Again, the goal is playoffs, and a seed may not happen, but it would sure be nice.
